Hi Alanm,
If you try to protect your light equipment and also electrical consume and if your electrical Panel have for security I.D. (Interrupter Differential) whom is also one for Lighting and one for Sockets then, you can use an Photo-Sensor (Crepuscular Sensor or another electronic photo-sensor) and electric Contactor connected in serial circuit of Lighting I.D. to electrical Panel. This will work Off for Lighting house in a Sun day and On for all circuits when begin the Night automatically. Also where is places in a house without windows (like a Bathroom for example) you can separate this circuits from electric Contactor to let them in old connection in electrical Panel and other's circuits what you don't need use in Sun day make a new connection to the electric Contactor. The Sensor will be connected in serial connection with Coil of the electric Contactor for command this Off and On. Also, you can call an Electrician with Autorization if you can't do this work alone.
 
Maybe leave him with some restricted form of control of a main room light ,( where others may be invading his space ).
Hiting a button shuts main lights off instantly for 20 sec maybe , then will lock out for 30 min . As it is a form of communication with others in the room .
(A magic trick he could perform ) .. Stressful if removed !

(Message form my wife who cares for autistic children and adults)...
What a brilliant idea static zap. I'll be getting Aldo (MrLights) to wire up something like that for one of my clients :)

Whilst the words appear to all be English, they make no sense at all.

Try writing in coherent English, there's no time limit on how long you take to write a post so take it slowly and proof read it so that your posts actually make some sense to those who read them.
 
How about an overall timer for the lighting circuits so off during the day but automatically on for night (allowing local switching on and off) then an override to allow day use if needed.
